Recently I was asked to photograph the hands of fathers and daughters who were getting together for a sort of family history night at my local church. It was an uplifting night; the fathers stood up in front of a group with their daughters and each told about where they came from and exciting stories from their history and ancestors. At the end, each father and daughter pair came and had a picture taken of their hands together. I didn't really know what to expect from these pictures, but I'm very happy with the way they turned out.

Each picture has a lot of emotional impact, I think. Seeing the girls' pretty, soft hands next to their dads' rough hands is neat. I hope the dads and daughters like them too... here is an example.
